Drinking Water and Eating.

DR.. y. II. p. Leuf contributes to the
Medical News an article upon 1.-The
Stomach in which he sets forth
what he regards as several important
errors in regard to the anatomy and
physiology of that vital organ as de
scribed by the usually accepted author
tiles. We present some of the con-
illusions to which he comes
When water is taken into the full
or partly full stomach, it does not
mingle with the food, but goes quickly
toward the pylorus, through which it
passes into the intestine. The secre
ton of mucus by the lining membrane
is constant, and during the night a
considerable amount accumulates in
the stomach; some of the liquid por-
ton is absorbed, and that which re-
mains is thick and tenacious: if food
Is taken into the stomach when in this
condition, it becomes coated with this
mucuS, and the secretion of the gastric
Juice and its action are delayed. These
facts show the value of goblet of
water before breakfast This washes
out the tenacious mucus, and stimu-
lateS the gastric glands to secretion.
In old or feeble persons this water
should not be taken cold. but it NAV
with great advantage be taken warm or
hot. The removal OF the accumulated
mucuS from the stomach is probably
one of the reasons why taking soup at
| the beginning of a meal has ALWAYS
been found So beneficial. The morn,
ing mucus contained in the stomach
binders or retards digestion. Water
drank before meals dilutes and washes
out this mucous, thus greatly aiding
| digestion as we'll rs elimination. Cold
water should be taken by those who
have the power to react, while warm
or hot water should be used by al
Others. 1t is perfectly proper to drink
water before, during, and after meals
Salt added to the water is very ben
etcial in preventing the formation OF

Their friends were SO glad to see them
that they actually took them up and

\ sanitary lesson on the benefits of
a protective tafiil is to be found in
the recent duties levied on importa-
tions of pure bred stations, on the
ground that because the importers ex-
pcctcd To sell them, therefore they were
not exempt from duty on the ground
of being intended for breeding pur-
poses. As if draft stallion would be
imported for anything but breeding
purposes, or the benefits of his use as
n sire he diminished by his transfer to
to other parties! But then, to the pro
tcctionlst only one point of view is
ever percepuble, and that is the priv
ilege of adding To the cost of every
thing to the consumer The Farmer.
II would seem that the exemption
from duty of all live stock imported
for breeding purposes was made to en-
courage the general improvement of
stock, and not for the benefit of few
wealthy stock raiscrS who could afford
To import n few animals for their own
use, However, Judge Gresham holds
I" the contrary, and the ways of courts
and lawyers are often mysterious and
past finding out. The decision of the
supreme court of Wisconsin holds that
a dwelling house, although private
property, If rented to a clergyman for
Il rectory, is under the statute exempt
from taxation, is a poser for those who
have not delved far into legal lore.

Foremost among the many able
democratic leaders who give loyal
support to the Cleveland administra-
ton is Hon John g. Carlisle, speaker
Of the house of representatives. Mr.
Carlisle is a sound, clear headed and
progressive statesman, and as such
has the confidence Of his party to a
very eminent degree. His views on
the political situation, as given in a
recent interview, at Lexington, Ky,
are as follows:
81 think the denomination Of Mr..
Cleveland is forgone conclusion, and
in my opinion it is the wiseSt and best
thing the democratic party can do. If
nominated he will be elected, no mat
ter who may be his opponent. lie
has given the country sensible,
business-like and patriotic administra-
ton; and the best evidence Of his ca
pacity for the place he occupies is
found in the fact that even his most
yigilant and yindictiye political oppO-
nents have not been able to point to
single instance in which any public
interest has suffered on account of his
official conduct. The petulant tone of
the party criticism to which he has
been subjected throughout the whole
of his administration is of itself a
confession that his course in regard
to large and important matters is un-
assailable. So long as he does the
right thing at the right time, and in
the right way, no political capital can
be made by attempts to ridicule or
exaggerate his personal characteristics !;
and If he is renOminated the repub-
licans will discover long before the
campaign is over, that this shot
IS too small for the game they are
hunting.
" Mr. Blaine is the most perfect liv-
ing representative Of the real prinCi-
pies and methods of the partisan re-
publicanism which characterized the
administration of the government for
twenty years after the close of the
war; and if the party intends to make
IN honest and aggressive campaign
in support of its actual political faith
il will compel him to take the nomina-
ton. Mr.. Blaine believes implicitly in
the sovereignty of the republican party,
and in himself rs the impersonation Of
its power. He therefore claims the
allegiance and active support of every
profcssed republican, and never for
gives anyone who opposes him. He
is still stronger inside the party than
any other man, and if nominated
would receive the full partisan rcpub-
lean vote, but he will never again
receive such vote as he received in
1891. The country has had time to
think time to compare the admins
tration which Mr. Cleveland has act
ually given it with the administration
which Mr.. Blsine would probably have
given it and the result is that Cleve-
land IS much stronger than he was in
1884, and Blaine much weaker"

There is some talk that in organizing
the tiftieth congress old party lines will
be discarded and a division taken on
the tariff question. 1t remains to be
proved whether the sentiment of the
next house is Tor or against tariff re-
duction; but if the lines were drawn
on this question it would be one great
step in the right direction. Then if
no reduction should be made at the
first session of the tiftieth congress. the
question would be brought squarely
before the people in the presidential
campaign of 1888; and The Democrat
firmly believes that the result would
be most emphatic condemnation OF
the robber policy of protection.

President Cleveland has accepted a
second invitation from the citizens of
st. Louis, and will visit that city some
time in October. 1t is supposed that
he will also visit the northwest, stop
ping at Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison
and other places. Wherever he goes
he will receive a cordial welcome from
al good citizens. The American peo-
pie are loyal, and they fully appreciate
the honesty, ability and courage with
which Mr.. Cleveland executes the i'm
pOrtant duties of his office.

Secretary Fairchild has ordered re

hraith Bros, of GAINESVILLE, Wis. and
seized 10y revenue officers at Detroit.
lie rules that an animal imported for
breeding purposes need not be kept bv
the importer, but may be sold if it is
clear that the buyer intends it for

suit against Galhraith Bros. COM
menced few days ago, for duties on
horses imported free, and afterwards
sold, will probably be withdrawn.
Secretary Fairchild takes a sound
common sense view of the case. and
his ruling is just and equitable. What
ever loss or Inconvenience Messrs.

the matter will doubtless be more than
made up to them by the wide spread

Althouph nearly a wear will elapSe

Although nearly year will elapse
before the time arrives for holding the
national conventions of 1888, there is
great deal of speculation as to the
man most likely to head the repub-
lican ticket next year. Blaine, Sher-
man, Allison, Gresham and other
names have been pretty thoroughly
discussed, and all of them besides
many others will probably be in the
field until a nomination is made The
latest report is that many knowing re-
publicans consider Chauncey Depew
the most available man to lead the
fight, and that his nomination will be
urged upon the ground that he could
poll strong vote in the state of New
York. 1t is also stated that Mr.
Blaine favors the nomination of Mr..
Depew. And so the talk continues

TO MAKE IF RAIN AZ PLEASURE.
Artificial Electricity Arranged to Prod
 uce Natural Showers.

lF7rom the San Francisco Chroniclel
 The remarkable powers and adaptability of the electric current 10 the uses of society have been further demonstrated by an inven- tion which has at least the charm of novelty. This is nothing more nor less than patent to open the windows of heaven at the will of man, and Michael Cahill, NJ. D., of this city is the inventor.
 f'I expect to see the sagebush deserts of Nebraska and Nevada under cultivation and affording pasturage for thousands of cattle in a few years," began the doctor. ''should the government adopt my patent, by it's use there need not be an acre of waste land on the whole continent"
 "EBy what extraordinary means do you in tend to tap the clouds and interfere with the laws of nature?" queried the reporter.
 Simply by condenser or captive balloon and an electric cable placed wherever the rain is required. I have long believed that rain could be produced by artificial means, and I have worked at this hobby of mine for several years-ever since I left college, in fact. You see, frat of all vapor, as it as cends, receives heat from the solar rays, which also impels it upward until restricted by the cold. The visicles or dewdrops, being crowded together, become electrified, float on the air at an altitude of from 5, 1000 to 5000 feet, and all that is required then is to intercept these vesieles by artificial means. What have invented is a condenser of peculiar shape and construction, and con nected with the earth by electric cable. Whenever thS vesicles come into contact with the condenser or current they are broken up and the water forced to the ground with great rapidity. The rain will be produced by the same law that causes condensation af f1on cr1oC is covered with microscopic points, and on becoming chilled, the layer of air next it falls, allowing the vapor to flow on to the points, and thence to the ground"
 "You will require gigantic balloon for such purpose,' was suggested,
 ''Oh, no. A condenser of about 200 feet in diameter will bring down something like 25, ,000,0 gallons day, or as much as would irrigate almost half of this State. The volume of water can be preserved or formed into rivers, whichever may be de- sired"

sons, while in Omaha, where no licenses are
 less than S1 ,000, there is only one saloon to
 every 426 persons. These facts make it very apparent that the higher the licenses are the fewer the saloons.
 The case of William F. Davis is again be- fore the people of Massachusetts and such others as are interested in it. Davis, whose persistent violation of @ city ordinance by preaching on Boston common without a license resulted in his going to prison, has been petitioning Governor Ames for par don, and his condition has enlisted the sym pathy of 8 number of prominent clergymen in his behalf, so that they also have urged the governor to release him. The corre- spondence between Davis and the governor shows that Davis hasn't learned much. In response to the petition the governor wrote him that he understood it was Mr. Davis in- tention, if released, to repeat the act for which he was under punishment, and ac- cordingly he was not disposed to interfere, at the same time intimating that petition for conditional pardon might meet with a favorable response. This produced 8 scorn- full reply from the prisoner, who proudly confirmed the governors views of his inten- tions if released. He then proceeded to preach to the governor a sermon on the duties of the chief executive, to which that official responded that the courts had decided the bylaw in question constitutional and that he had no further resource. This brought forth 8 last response from the irate preacher, who, after quoting the governors words as to the limit of his resources, said: Then it is high time for thee to qualify thy- self for the office which thou has undertaken to fill by providing myself with conscience cognizant of the contents of the governors oath, and which is not merely an echo of the judgment or of the misjudgments of an en- tirely distinct department of our tripartite government
